"The Only Way to See the Maldives," Maldives

“The major attraction of the Maldives is the marine life below the surface, but the second most popular is seeing these tiny islands from the air. Most only get a glimpse of this view during a seaplane ride, but when you have a drone, anything is possible."

"98 Percent," Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

"Spools of Silk Thread," Inle Lake, Myanmar

“Any tour of Inle Lake should include a visit by longboat to the small villages at its edges. Each practices its own craft; in one vil-lage, we visited a shop that special-izes in silk thread weavings. These vibrantly colored spools caught my eye and my imagination.”
